Today’s classic albums is one of the most talked about and critiqued in music history. Is it because the music is fantastic? Not necessarily, and that’s not to say there aren’t some classic song on it (there are). Possibly more than any band in history, the Sex Pistols were a lightning rod for controversy and trouble. Even Steve Jones from the band said they weren’t so much about the music as they were about chaos.
BONUS CONENT starts at 8:45 including more on band manager Malcolm McLaren, how Pink Floyd is tied in to the Sex Pistols (a band they detested), where the band got the riff for ‘Holiday in the Sun’ and what happened when the Ramones went overseas to the UK for their first shows, where the Sex Pistols were in attendance.
